Re: The Future of Publications Design

As a designer who has almost only worked with print over the last 5 years, I am a bit intimidated by the digital direction that publications are headed. A large part of my entering the Pub Design program at UB is to become more comfortable with the digital world and get some web classes under my belt. That being said, I'm excited to explore modern, digital ways of sharing information and realize the importance of being able to adapt as a designer. Also, I think that while most designers can appreciate holding a print, and touching the paper and dried ink, most of the general audience isn't going to miss that aspect. People want what they want, and in an instant!
